Pool outdated and cheap. Old hotel. Gym was ok. Staff poor, didnt want to give out free water to Hilton Honor guest. You pay for parking $33 a day and the parking garage is not big enough for large SUVs. You have to be very careful you don’t scratch the sides or roof of your car in the garage. Breakfast buffet is $27 for powder eggs, bacon and sausage. Absolutely nothing special about the breakfast buffet for $27.

HORRIBLEEE-worst experience in a hotel that I have everrrr had! My stay in a motel 6 was better than my stay here. The staff was atrocious. I had problems with my first room. And was moved to a second room. Ended up having problems with that room as well. I had asked for maid service and never received it. I called for towels and took over an HOUR for towels to be brought to my room. I will NEVER book with double tree. And my compensation? 5000 points really? I have yet to receive my refund for parking. This was the most unrelaxing weekend ever.

It took forever to check in, then my key didn’t work. No water bottles available in the room and no smart tv. The food quality/flavor at the restaurant didn’t seem to match the price point. I would say the stay was fine but wouldn’t go back

The bathroom in my room #416 was terrible. There was soooo much caulking around the bottom of the tub it looked it was holding it in place. The shower head was barely holding on and the water pressure was even worse. The hotel really needs some updating. The carpet in my room was heavily stained which I'm guessing was with coffee because of whr the stains were.
